Project Grant R61MH138705
- This federal Project Grant award of $3,299,818.00 was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242). The grant supports research by Yale University to study the neural mechanisms underlying complex social interaction strategies in freely moving individuals. The research aims to determine the interaction strategies used by dyads in novel social interaction tasks, and investigate the neural codes and population dynamics...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to elucidate how POMC neurons in the hypothalamus respond to social stimuli and regulate social behaviors during development. The $461,084 award to Yale University, with a period of performance from June 16, 2025 to June 15, 2027, will leverage in vivo two-photon microendoscopy techniques to map the responses of POMC neurons to social cues in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), aims to develop an integrated, portable sensor suite for concurrent recording of neural activity, physiological arousal, motor signals, and physical interactions in social environments. The $1,453,943 award will fund research to integrate neural oscillatory features of visual attention with additional sensors to extract physiological and movement-derived...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $778,548 to support research on the neural mechanisms underlying social cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. The awardee, the Research Foundation for Mental Hygiene, Inc. through its Nathan S. Kline Institute Division, will utilize multimodal neuroimaging approaches, including ERP, fMRI, and transcranial direct current stimulation, to investigate...
- This federal Project Grant award of $196,460 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), is supporting research to elucidate the neural substrates underlying novelty-related social investigation behaviors in mice. The research aims to leverage in vivo recording techniques, projection-specific optogenetic stimulation, and computational approaches to determine how social recognition information encoded in the ventral...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) provides $254,250 to Rockefeller University to study face representation and processing within the brain's visual and prefrontal cortex regions. The central hypothesis is that the anterior temporal cortex and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex contain qualitatively different face representations, with the former emphasizing physical properties and the latter...
- The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) awarded a $433,125 Project Grant under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for the project "Inter-Brain Synchrony as a Neural Mechanism of Social Connection in Schizophrenia". This 2-year grant, with a period of performance from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027, will investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social disconnection in individuals with schizophrenia. The...
- The federal Project Grant award titled "Neural Computations Underlying the Relationship Between Social Learning and Mood" was provided by the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242 Mental Health Research Grants) for $158,286.00. The award aims to better understand how social interactions and learning of social norms influence mood, with potential implications for treating socio-affective deficits. The project will utilize human single-unit recordings to examine the role of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program will provide $698,115 to the University of Southern California (USC) to investigate how brief social interactions can affect brain function and cognitive performance in older adults. The project will use advanced brain imaging techniques, such as functional MRI, to study how these interactions influence the brain's salience network and its connections to other...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $409,837 to Dartmouth College to research the computational and neural mechanisms underlying how people detect, predict, and regulate others' mental states during social interactions. The project aims to develop deep neural network models that can replicate these key aspects of human social cognition, with the goal of advancing scientific understanding...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242), provides $665,494 to Yale University to establish a Social Interaction Suite (SIS) of synchronized neural and behavioral tools. The SIS is designed to measure cognitive networks associated with processing facial cues and correlated behaviors during live social interactions. The suite will include simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG), eye-tracking, pupillometry, facial feature tracking, emotive categorization, subjective responses, and physiological monitoring during tasks involving live eye-to-eye contact and emotional contagion. This award aims to address the knowledge gap in studying the neural and behavioral correlates of naturalistic face-to-face interactions, which are traditionally challenging to measure under ecologically valid conditions. The project period runs from September 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028.
